Lately

 

All dressed up in bright pink cotton for a late summer morning! I'm wearing a divine pleated midi dress from Australian label Aje, a pair of stone leather & elastic gladiator-style stiletto heels from Wittner for a modicum of height, a natural woven paper slouch bag from my local Cotton On store & an amazing silver & pink-dyed heather hinged bangle from Heathergems that I picked up years ago when I was visiting the factory in Pitlochry, Scotland.

Jumpsuit for joy in this polka dotted piece of paradise, worn to an event celebrating the career of the hilarious Weird Al Yankovic. The jumpsuit in question is a drapey, crepe number from girly Australian label Review & I added a pair of black matte leather pointy-toed booties from Wittner, a funky patchwork multiple-sari-print silk handbag that a dear friend brought back from a trip to India, a trio of chunky studded bangles from Tree of Life & the amazing silk printed scarf that I took home from the Monet in Paris exhibition as a souvenir.

Magic moments in my verdant, backyard jungle wearing a cool & breezy tile print linen bias-cut slip dress from Ghanda with my favourite stone leather & elastic gladiator-style stiletto heels from Wittner & a natural woven straw bucket bag with diamantes from the delightful Oh Jo Jo Boutique before heading out to pick up something sweet to eat from my local Zarraffas store...

Another day, another amazing summer dress from Aje - this one has a stunning corset bodice, exaggerated hip detailing & voluminous puff sleeves in a stunning white & blue floral print on cotton/silk. Once again, I'm wearing my ideal summer combination of stone leather & elastic Wittner gladiator heels & woven paper slouch bag from Cotton On but I've added a stack of vintage Mexican silver bangles & blue stone & silver bracelet from Oxfam Shops to pick up the blue inherent in the print of the dress.

A few quick snaps outside my local San Churro store while celebrating my cousin's birthday with some very sweet treats! For the occasion, I'm wearing this stunning orange, white & green tropical floral printed stretch pique midi dress with v-neckline & 60s style belt from Sacha Drake, a pair of tan leather molded sandals with ankle straps from Wittner & a tan vinyl handbag with wooden clasp from Soul Nook boutique in Marburg.

A cute black floral guipure lace tiered mini dress with grosgrain ribbon tie straps from Portmans for a stiflingly hot day antiquing in Paddington & zucchini fritters with haloumi for lunch at The Java Lounge (washed down with a cold banana smoothie, of course!). I've styled it up with a pair of black leather & elastic gladiator-style stiletto heels from Wittner & a natural woven straw handbag with black leather handle from Witchery to carry all the essentials. Finally, I added a stack of gold & onyx bangles with charms from Alex & Ani to complete the look.

Another stunning, signed print to add to the one my wonderful brother & sister-in-law gave me for Christmas...

Feeling very "film noir" in a black organza tiered mini dress with rosette shoulders from Aje, a pair of chunky black patent Mary Jane heels with gold buckles from Dangerfield & a vintage burgundy satin pouch bag with black floral beading from the 1990s that a dear friend sent me as a gift for that pop of unexpected colour.
